The Cubs have won their arbitration case against Ryan Theriot who will make 2.6 million instead of 3.4. This marks the end of a nice run the Cubs were on in NOT going all the way to a hearing, and makes the team 2-2 over the last two hearings.

The Cubs also know with Starlin Castro coming quickly- they can afford to upset Theriot to the point of leaving…granted I hope that isn’t the case. The Cubs are going to need the Theriot of 2008- in 2010.
